For want of a nail (or dispensing part): for agribusiness and Middle Market businesses leaders who want to increase your business value.
September 28, 2023 – Metro Atlanta – Fiscal Sustainability expert Gary W. Patterson, FiscalDoctor®, suggests most of us got to memorize some verse in school for a History or English class.
Not sure which phrase you remember and why.
My phrase relates to critical path or supply chain. "For want of a nail, the kingdom was lost." King Richard III's also lost his life at Bosworth Field (which I visited and is probably why I remember this quote).
For my local McDonalds, it is that their coke dispenser is lost for want of a replacement part which was on backorder for another 3 months.
Applying this: What is one crucial bottle neck point or issue, which you should check on or address now?
I work with a lot of business leaders who want to increase profits, grow value, or reduce risk. If you want to brainstorm or bounce an idea off an external expert, I always have time to help on a discussion or project.
Who should consider this complimentary offer?
- Corporate directors, key committee chairs and board chairs
- Corporate officers and C-suite executives
- Shareholders, stakeholders, and regulators
- SMB, middle market and global 2000
Either way, I would be curious to hear what is working BEST for you right now in terms of getting increasing business value in a ROI focused way on how that bottleneck point or issue can benefit.
